A send email action could help a lot with integration with other apps and services.
One use for this would be to parse text messages or notifications for dates and times, then email the message body to a task manager app (Todoist or TickTick) so they'll automatically be added to your schedule.
With this you could use Tasker to get total integration between a task manager app, email, calendar app, and your phone.
I know there are some plug-ins for this, but I think it would be a very useful feature for Tasker to have natively.

Allow fork and join of tasks
It's sometimes useful to be able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously (eg one task may be updating some state in the background).
For example, a Scene may be taking input for some duration and updating an expiry widget based on the duration input and the current time. But the time itself can be changing, too; it would be nice if the expiry widget can be updated when the current time changes.

Variables to enable/disable Tasker password on startup
Since João's new update, I have been able to successfully disable the Tasker password when at home and have it enabled when I leave home.
In Tasker preferences, make sure Lock on Startup is checked.
In a task, choose + then Tasker | Set Tasker Pref. In drop-down list, choose Lock Code.
Type in the code for when this option is enabled.
Delete the value so it's Unset for when you want it disabled.
An extra variable is needed so Lock on Startup can be enabled or disabled. At the moment, if you keep this option enabled, then run the

Add a switch statement to be used in place of if else/elseif
Please add a switch statement that could be used in place of if-else -else if. If you wish to check for a few conditions a switch statement would be easier to code and read instead of the multiple nested if-else if statements.

Network Access allows variable/array
For the Network Access action, instead of picking apps from a list, would be nice if one can use a variable/array to specify the app(s). This way, we can allow or deny different apps based on conditions.

Make actions requiring root or write secure settings easier to identify
It would be nice if it was easier to differentiate actions that require root are write secure settings permission. Making each of these actions a different colour would help with this.

Enhanced Run Log
Can we expand on the run log please? Currently the run log fails to do the most important aspect which is to tell you what exactly went wrong. It shows you the task that failed, but you can't view the error. Often times running the task/profile again makes it go through without a problem. It would be great if we could tap on the errored action and view the error that task showed just like it does when it fails in the edit screen. Furthermore if we can actually see the Plugin task name it would be very helpful as

Covering an canvas on screen to simply draw then take screenshoot
add an action on display: canvas
Covering an canvas on screen to simply draw then take screenshoot
just cover a global transparent floating window on the screen where users can simply draw lines with finger on it, such as drawing arrows, so users can quickly make illustration and circle the point on screen easily. just click "back" button, then it will disappear.

Global variable for audio channer "BT Voice" is missing
I see that Tasker provides actions for the following audio channels / variables ...
Alarm ...% VOLA Average ...% VOLM Notification ...% VOLN Ringer ...% VOLR System ...% VOLS In-Call ...% VOLC DTMF ...% VOLD BT Voice ... Could it be VOLB?
I suppose it will not be very complicated to implement.

Scene editing widgets camoflaged when love wallpaper is used.
When a live wallpaper is being used, scene editing has a completely white background which makes the widgets invisible. Can this be fixed?

Allow variable to be set to result of search and replace
It would be useful to perform a search and replace to a variable then place the result into another variable. Also doable, but more complicated in both implementation and use, is to allow lookahead regexes.

Single line edit text element in scenes
It would be great to be able to specify that certain edit text elements in scenes are single lines so that on the keyboard there's a next key instead of an enter key, similar to what you have when you set a maximum characters limit. Would greatly improve UX for a lot of scenes I've built

Take photo - extra options. Possible plugin
May I suggest a new plugin ("AutoCamera")to control all camera options. Like the ability to specify the ISO and/or picture quality settings when taking photos. It has also been suggested that EXIF data be able to be extracted as well. Thanks

Allow Color Choice For Disabled / Un-Powered Actions
As of Tasker 5.0+ when an Action in a Task has been disabled (un-powered) the only thing to designate it as so is an olive-drab color bar to the left of it.
(Color may be different depending on theme).
HOWEVER this doesn't make it very obvious that the Action has been disabled.
In the future - this bar color should be configurable in Preferences AND there should be an option to have that entire Action greyed-out.

Allow the option of Variable Set to copy cleared variable
Have a check box in Variable Set so that if assigning one variable to another and the source variable is not set (cleared) then the target variable is cleared, rather than set to the name of the source variable.
This would stop the need for If SET Then assign Else clear EndIf sequences.
The check box would only apply when the source is a single variable.
-
Allow variable substitution be specified
Allow the use of %(somevarname} to be the same as %somevarname so that %[somevarname}A means substitute the value of %somevarname concatenated with A, rather than substitute the value of %somevarnameA
IE, The same as in some shell scripting languages.
